HELLO! YOUR roving
reporter returned home
Thursday—safely, and with-
out too much inconvenience,
despite char s i'i my flight
schedule an i delay. But
before I go into all of that, I
want to thank Dorothy Jenn-
ings for writing Malarky for
me last week. She did a
super good job. as usual.
I WAS due to go to
Chicago Thursday, Aug. 6,
but on Friday afternoon,
July 31. when I learned the
air controllers had set Mon-
day as strike time I called
my travel service. D & E
Travel in Plainview, and
fortunately, the capable
staff there was able to get
me a flight out of Amarillo
Sunday morning. Aug. 2,
before the strike started.
Lucille Brasher took me to
the airport accompanied by
Ruby McAnelly and Mildred
Sharp, so 1 had a happy
send-off by friends as I
excitedly boarded the TWA
plane.
THE CHIEF reason I
HAD to get to Chicago was
to attend the wedding of my
granddaughter, Melinda
Sue Montgomery, to Donald
Paul Rogers, also of Chi-
cago. son of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Rogers of Ottawa,
Ontario. Canada. I approved
of Don right away when 1
met him last Christmas and
liked his nice family equally
well. His father is comp-
troller general of Canada.
Melinda is the daughter
of my daughter and son-in-
law. Sue and Johnny Mont-
gomery. I was their guest
during my Chicago stay,
part of the time in their
home and part of the time
at the Ambassador East
Hotel, which is two blocks
from their condominium.
They wanted to "get me out
of their hair” and keep their
home in perfect condition
during the wedding time,
which I understood, of
course. Nobody can wreck a
place as fast as I can when I
come in and start scattering
my stuff!
Anyway I enjoyed staying
at both places. My room-
mate at the hotel was
Johnny's aunt, Mrs. John
(Ozella) Hill of Brownfield,
who has been like a mother
to him since his own mother
died while he was in col-
lege. She and I indulged in
the delicious Sunday brunch
in the Pump Room at the
Ambassador East.
MY NIECE, Jan Harrla of
Houston, who was one of
Melinda's bridesmaids, also

THE TULIA (Swisher County) HERALD
CLAUDE STANALAND. of Tulia. an amateur
radio operator of long standing recently became a
member of the Quarter Century Wireless Association.
To be eligible for Q.C.W.A. a person has to be
licensed by the Federal Communications Commission
for 25 years or longer. The Q.C.W.A. is a National
Fraternal Organization of (Ham) Radio Operators.
Stanaland belongs to the North Texas Chapter,
headquartered in Irving and is also a long time
member of The American Radio Relay League, also
Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service of Texas and
has handled a lot of emergency communications
during disasters such as the Silverton Tornado of
1957, and the Tulia Tornado of 1979 when most all
other communications was out.
stayed at the same hotel
and 1 had breakfast with her
two mornings. Her dad. Ed
Harris of Tulia. had planned
to go to the wedding, but
the first flight he had re-
served was cancelled; ano-
ther substitute one was can-
celled also he found when
he got to the airport, and he
ran into so many difficulties
with the airlines he could
not get to Chicago. We
were all disappointed be-
cause he could not make it.
The wedding was Satur-
day afternoon. Aug. 8. in
Blair Chapel of the beautiful
Fourth Presbyterian Church
in Chicago. (Murray Travis,
they did let me in after all!)
Following the ceremony a
few pictures were taken in
the courtyard. Melinda and
Don wanted to be married
in the courtyard but it is
against church rules—only a
little picture taking is allow-
ed. .
Naturally. 1 thought my
granddaughter was beauti-
ful in her sweet dress which
was made in about 1910
with fresh flowers in her
hair and ribbon streamers
flowing over her long hair in
the back. The full wedding
write-up is elsewhere in the
Tulia Herald.
After the picture-taking,
the bride and groom, best
man and maid of honor,
rode in a covered, horse-
drawn carriage from the
church, which is on Michi-
gan Avenue across from the
John Hancock Center quite
a distance down the "Mag-
nificent Mile" to the Tavern
Club where Sue and Johnny
hosted the reception and
dinner. The ride was pro-
vided by the best man. The
carriage was between two
limousines holding relatives
and the bridal party, which
guided it through the traf-
fic. Riding in the first
limousine. I had such fun
watching the carriage be-
hind. and the looks on the
faces of Chicago Saturday
shoppers or strollers. Many
• people stopped and stared,
smiled and waved!
The rehearsal dinner at
the Italian place. Como Inn,
the wedding, the reception
and dinner afterward were a
delight for this tired country
girl who had done nothing
all summer but work hard!
Another treat was dinner on
Sunday night. Aug. 9, at La
Tour Dining Room in the
lovely Park Hyatt Hotel on
Water Tower Square. A
beautiful place with a beau-
tiful view of the old Water
Tower which remained
standing after the devasting
Chicago fire of early days!
Melinda and John have a
most interesting and unu-
sual third floor apartment
which they have decorated
with their own personal
touches, using antiques and
out-of-the ordinary furnish-
ings and new wedding pre-
sents. I managed to drag
myself up the two flights of
stairs four times (no eleva-
tor) and believe me, it
wasn't easy with these bad
knees of mine. I sort of
crawled part of the way.
MUCH OF my time In
Chicago was spent tagging
along with Sue as she com-
pleted arrangements prior
to the wedding and return-
ing tuxes, etc. afterward.
We shopped some, had
lunch one day at Neiman-
Marcus in Northbrook Court
and one day at a place I
liked called Jeromes—the
patio tables were filled ex-
cept those in the sun. so we
sat inside by a window
instead. I went to the movie
"Arthur" and Sue and I
saw Shelley Winters in per-
son in the Neil Simon play.
"The Gingerbread Lady."
Jan. Ozella and I went to
the observatory of the John
Hancock Center on Saturday
morning. Ninety-four floors
high, we had a magnificant
view of Chicago and Lake
Michigan.
ON TUESDAY, Aug. 11, I
went to sec The Search for
Alexander exhibit at the
Chicago Art Institute. The
exhibit attempts to establish
the cultural and visual con-
text which generated two of
history's greatest warriors
and statesmen. Philip II and
his son. Alexander the
Great, and brings together a
wide-ranging group of ob-
jects illustrating an era of
enormous energy, expansion
and creativity that includes
the 12-year reign of Alexan.
der. Especially significant is
the group of works assem-

bled from the conqueror’s
native Macedonia. Murray
and Jane Travis also saw
this exhibit when they were
in Chicago this summer. I
agree with him that it was
not as good as the King Tut
exhibit, but interesting.
I DID not see much of my
grandson. John Kyle, 18,
who was working during the
daytime for an auto parts
company delivering auto
parts all over Chicago. I
guess that's one way to
learn to drive in such a big
city. He previously got his
driver's license after taking
drivers education. He will
be a senior next year at the
Latin School, a private
school which First Lady
Nancy Reagan attended.
John was named to Who's
Who this past school year.
COMING BACK to Ama-
rillo. 1 was switched from
TWA to American Airlines
because my original return
flight was cancelled; then
one of my American flights,
from Chicago to Dallas was
changed. 1 had to check
with American every day for
three days before my de-
parture to find out what was
taking place. It seems the
airlines themselves don’t
know what is going to hap-
pen from one day to the
next, so I would advise if
you are flying anywhere, to
keep in constant check with
the airline or your travel
service. As we were just
about to depart from Dallas
for Amarillo, all of us on
flight 69 were moved from
the plane we were on, be-
cause of maintenance diffi-
culties. and later re-boarded
another plane. We were all
glad that American was
watchful after our welfare
and didn’t try to bring us on
a plane that wasn't ade-
quate for the flight. My
brother-in-law, Ed Harris,
met me at the Amarillo
Airport.
NOW YOU’VE heard
about my vacation—let's
hear about yours. Leave me
a note or call and tell me
what you did.
MK. AND Mr*. John
Beck had a welcome change
from their everyday duties
when they went to Houston
recently for five days. They
visited their son and his
wife. Charles and Mickey
Beck, and two sons. Jerry
and Kenny, and daughter.
Charlotte. Kenny and his
wife, Donna, and their son,
Steven, who was 1-year-old
in July, came over from
their home in Kerrville to
see the Tulia visitors. So the
Becks had a chance to enjoy
